| GOLDESBERRY GALLERY - OPENING: SEPT 13TH - 6:00 - 8:00PM |
NOI VOLKOV New Art History |
| Goldesberry Gallery is proud to present ceramic sculpture by Noi Volkov. The exhibition opens Saturday, September 13, with an open house at 11 a.m., followed by an opening reception from 6 - 8 p.m. For his second exhibition with Goldesberry Gallery, Volkov continues his whimsical exploration of art history via ceramic figures. "Art history has always been a passion of mine," says Volkov. "My work," he continues, "depicts famous works, artists, and artistic movements in various ways to illustrate their influence on the art world." Volkov mixes artists together in unexpected ways, but there is always an artistic thread that binds them together. His work is a tribute to all the artists that inspire him. His work is also intended to put emphasis back on past masters in a playful, unexpected way. Volkov fabricates work by hand that merges his abilities in ceramics and painting. Combining painterly marks and color in a three-dimensional form provides him with a whole new direction to explore and develop. This love of art history and exploration of interesting glazes and forms lead to the creation of his unique personal style. Born in Russia in 1947, Volkov graduated with a MFA in Fine Art and Ceramics in 1973. He has lived in Maryland since 1990. His work is in many prestigious public and private collections including the Mint Museum, Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, Arkansas Art Center, Arizona State Museum, and the National Museum of Ceramics in Kiev, Ukraine. Volkov's work has been shown in such publications as Artnews, Ceramics Monthly, Craft Report, and Baltimore Sun. The exhibition continues through October 18, 2008. Since 1991 Goldesberry Gallery has been Houston 's premier gallery for work in craft media including ceramics, glass, and unique hand-crafted jewelry. The gallery is located at 2625 Colquitt on "Gallery Row" in the Upper Kirby District. Gallery hours are 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, Tuesday through Saturday.
